Structure of a make-up container

ABSTRACT

A make-up container includes a containing body, a soft application device, a rigid reinforcement element for the soft application device, and a cap; the containing body has an opening, and the reinforcement element is positioned on the opening of the containing body; the application device surrounds and covers an annular portion of the reinforcement element at a base portion thereof therefore the base portion of the application device can&#39;t change shape easily even if it is subjected to pressure; the application device and the containing body are joined together so as to be inseparable; the application device has a through hole on one end thereof, which communicates with an inside of the containing body; the cap serves to cover the application device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to make-up container, with a softapplication device, and a reinforcement element ininin the softapplication device to be closed with a cap.

2. Brief Description of the Prior Art

Things such as foods and make-ups can be prevented from decayingrapidly, and won't be contaminated by a wide variety of pollutions whenthey are stored in proper containers. Thus, various kinds of containersare necessities of life, providing much convenience to people.

A make-up container is used for packing viscous liquid substance, whichincludes a hollow containing body, and an application device on the headof the containing body, which is made of a soft material so as to feelcomfortable when touching people's skins. Both the cap and theapplication device have threads; thus, the cap can be threadedly engagedwith the application device so as to close the application device andseal the containing body.

After a liquid content is held in the above container, it can be easilyextruded because the containing body is squeezable. And, the liquidcontent can be applied to a person's skin smoothly by means of theapplication device. As the application is soft, the cap can't be tighton the application device, and is prone to fall off accidentally. And,the liquid make-up will flow out of the container to cause waste andstain outer package.

Therefore, it is a main object of the invention to provide animprovement on a make-up container to overcome the above problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A make-up container according to an embodiment of the invention includesan application device to apply liquid make-up contents, e.g. paste andcream, and emulsion, of the container evenly to the skin.

The application device is made of soft plastic materials therefore itwon't scratch the skin when rubbing on the skin to apply the make-up.

The make-up container of the present invention further includes areinforcement element, which is surrounded and covered with a baseportion of the application device. The soft application device, thereinforcement element, and the containing body are welded together tobecome an inseparable part by means of injection molding or compressionmolding process; thus, the liquid contents won't leak out after the capis put on the application device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Shown in FIG. 1 is an improvement on a make-up container structure ofthe present invention, which is structured so as to be suitable for usewith liquid make-up, and includes a containing body 1, an applicationdevice 2, and a cap 3.

The containing body 1 is hollow, and is provided for receiving liquid(paste, cream or emulsion) make-up. Further, the containing body 1 hasan opening 11.

Referring to FIG. 2 as well, the application device 2 is made of softplastics, and has one end, which has a through hole 21 thereon. The softapplication device 2 is strengthened with a reinforcement element 4,which is made of rigid plastics. The reinforcement element 4 ispositioned on the opening 11 of the containing body 1. The softapplication device 2 is positioned over the reinforcement element 4 sothat a base portion of the application device 2 surrounds and covers anannular portion of the reinforcement element 4, and the inside of thecontaining body 1 communicates with the through hole 21. The softapplication device 2, the reinforcement element 4, and the containingbody 1 are secured together to become an inseparable part by means ofinjection molding or compression molding process. The application device2 further has a slanted tip 22, on which the through hole 21 is formed;thus, the application device 2 can be closely in touch with the skin ofa person by the slanted tip 22 thereof. Furthermore, the reinforcementelement 4 has a connecting rim on a base portion thereof, and theapplication device is tight on the connecting rim.

Shown in FIG. 4 is a make-up container of the present invention withanother application device; the application device has a dome-shapedhead 23, on which a through hole 21 is formed. Shown in FIG. 5 is amake-up container of the present invention with another applicationdevice; the application device has a spatula-shaped head 24, and onwhich a through hole 21 is provided.

Referring to FIG. 3, the cap 3 is used to cover the application device2. The cap 3 has a post-shaped portion 31 for prevention of leakage,which will be inserted in the through hole 21 of the application device2 when the cap 3 is put on the application device 2.

Therefore, after the cap 3 is removed from the application device 2, themake-up content of the containing body 1 can be extruded through thethrough hole 21 of the application device 2 by means of squeezing thecontaining body 1. And, the user is allowed to apply soft applicationdevice 2 on skin so as to apply the make-up to the skin evenly; becausethe application device 2 is soft, to provide the comfortable soft touchwhen the contained make-up is being applied to the skin.

After the user finishes applying the make-up, the cap 3 is screwed onthe application device 2; The application device 2 allows the cap 3 tobe tightly and securely joined thereto, and the liquid make-up contentis closed and cannot flow out from the container unexpectedly.

Shown in FIG. 6 is a make-up container of the present invention withanother application device 2; the application device 2 has a slanted tip22, a through hole 21 on the slanted tip 22, and several massagingprotrusions 25 on the slanted tip 22.

From the above description, it can be seen that the make-up container ofthe present invention has the following advantages:

1. The application device of the make-up container is made of softmaterial, yet it has the reinforcement element on the inner side of thebase portion thereof. Therefore, the cap can be tightly and securelyjoined to the application device without possibility of overrun.

2. The structure of the make-up container includes the additionalreinforcement element to allow the cap to be tight on the applicationdevice, yet it is still very simple. Therefore, the make-up container isconvenient to use, and easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

3. The application device of the make-up container of the invention hasseveral styles thereon to help to spread liquid make-up on the skin asuser friendly designs.
